Palace Downtown Dubai

Dubai knows how to dazzle and for a front-row seat at its famous fountain, book a room with a view at Palace Downtown, on the edge of the desert city’s vast man-made lake. Restaurants include a steakhouse modelled on a traditional Argentine asado, a tribute to Thai food and Ewaan, which seamlessly blends Arabic and Oriental flavours, with a distinctly local decor of wooden trellises, arches, alcoves and drapes (and hubbly-bubbly on the terrace). The palm-lined pool overlooks the Burj Khalifa and its parties continue into the night.
